This popular series is back for its sixth season, sponsored by a $30,000 GEICO Philanthropic Foundation grant. The series features eight free performances for students throughout Prince George's County.
"Here at GEICO, we understand that the fine arts are an important component of a well-rounded education," said Seth Ingall, GEICO senior vice president and head of GEICO’s Philanthropic Foundation. "That is why we are proud to support this initiative to get students out of the classroom and into the playhouse for an intimate, live-theatre experience. It is our hope that this will help ignite student's creativity and get them excited about learning through art and cultural experiences."
During a recent live showing of "Snowday: An A Capella Musical History," the GEICO Gecko greeted Prince George's County dignitaries and officials, who attended the special performance.
Remaining performances for the 2017 season include:
